Mediaite recaps: Glenn Beck declared this week that he is officially “out of the Republican Party.” Karl Rove responded to this on The O’Reilly Factor tonight by essentially yawning. Rove said he’s not really surprised by this “old news,” pointing to a few times before when Beck made similar statements about leaving the GOP. He pointed to what Beck said …

Right Wing Watch has the transcript: “Is this the kind of freedom that we’re at? Anyone who feels the same as Dolce and Gabbana, let me ask you, are they empowered to express their view or are they now afraid that Hollywood and progressives will come after them? The party of progress is making progress indeed, back to the Dark …

“Goodbye to his presidential career. It’s over. It’s over. There is no way to recover from that. That just sounds like a lunatic. That is just a ridiculous statement on a million fronts. A ridiculous statement. It’s not just that he didn’t see [the question] coming. It’s that he just thought that was a good answer. That was good enough …

Via Mediaite: Glenn Beck is not crazy. That’s why, last night, he acted out a whole scenario in which he’s a 90-year-old man in the year 2054 proving just how not-crazy he is. Beck got makeup and hair to make him look like a feeble old man, 40 years in the future, where (I’m guessing, it’s never directly said) progressives …

Kyle Mantyla writes at Right Wing Watch: Glenn Beck received an advance copy of “The Imitation Game,” the new film about Alan Turing’s effort to crack the Nazi Enigma code during World War II and his eventual suicide after he was prosecuted for being gay, a crime at the time. On his radio program today, Beck raved about the film, …

From the Pew Research report: Those with consistently conservative political values are oriented around a single outlet—Fox News—to a much greater degree than those in any other ideological group: Nearly half (47%) of those who are consistently conservative name Fox News as their main source for government and political news. Far fewer choose any other single source: Local radio ranks …

“Just when we thought the program couldn’t get any better, FRC Action is proud to announce that Glenn Beck, the voice behind one of the highest-rated radio shows in America will be joining the Values Voter Summit in D.C. next weekend. Beck, who conservatives know from TheBlaze TV, one of the world’s largest streaming video networks, is making a return …

“From the beginning, most people on the left were against going into Iraq. I wasn’t. At the time I believed that the United States was under threat from Saddam Hussein. I really truly believed that Saddam Hussein was funding terrorists. We knew that. He was funding the terrorists in Hamas. We knew that he was giving money. We could track …

Dallas television host Amy Tilton Kushnir took her tour of right-wing media to Glenn Beck’s show last night, where she declared that her complaints about Michael Sam’s kiss aren’t about “sexual preference” but about the public’s revulsion in seeing anyone lick cake off another person’s face. Or something. Since my post about Kushir’s heritage on Saturday, JMG readers have found …

What Glenn Beck apparently doesn’t know, or at least refuses to acknowledge, is that none of the major LGBT rights groups publicly called for a Mozilla boycott or for Eich to be removed as CEO. The Eich story is a grassroots, internet activism story. The loudest voice in the boycott campaign was the dating website OKCupid, whose parent company is …
